LEMONS ARE ALL GOOD VARIETIES 
61 
Eureka The Eureka originated by C. R. Workman, of Los Angeles, Cali¬ 
fornia, bears the reputation of being more widely grown in 
California than any other variety of lemons. 
The tree is a vigorous grower and unlike other varieties is practically free 
from thorns. The fruit is of medium size, smooth, glossy and an excellent 
keeper. In many sections of the state it blooms and sets lemons all the 
year around. 
This is a very attractive feature of the Eureka as lemons are usually much 
in demand during the summer months and at this period it might be said 
the Eureka produces more lemons than at any other, it is also regarded as 
very valuable in sections where frost sometimes occurs on account of its 
having several crops. 
Aside from its strong growing and heavy bearing qualities it is highly orna¬ 
mental as there is no other variety of fruit which blossoms and bears truit at 
the same period of the year. 
Lisbon While first grown in California by Mr. D. M. Burnham, of River¬ 
side, is supposed to have originated in Portugal. The tree is a 
strong grower, a prolific bearer and has a beautiful compact foliage, which 
is highly ornamental. While young the tree is inclined to be very thorny, 
but the thorns disappear as the tree grows older. 
The fruit is uniform in size, rather oblong in shape, having a thin skin, 
fine grain, and plenty of acid. 
While this variety is not classed as a seedless there are very few seeds to 
be found in many specimens. 
Villa Franca Originated in Europe and is regarded by lemon growers 01 
California as the hardiest variety, withstanding lower temper¬ 
atures than any other. The tree :s of somewhat drooping habit, with an 
abundance of beautiful glossy foliage, and thornless. 
The lemons are of medium size, oblong and slightly pointed at the blossom 
end. The rind is practically free from bitterness and of a beautiful yellow 
color. The pulp is juicy, contains plenty of acid, and while not classed as 
seedless very few seeds are to be found. 
In lemon growing sections the planting of this variety is recommended. 
POMELO OR GRAPE FRUIT 
Marsh’s Seedless While there arc 
other varieties 
of Pomelos grown, the Marsh’s Seed¬ 
less is so much superior in quality 
and size, that many Nurserymen have 
deemed it advisable, on account of 
the heavy demand for this sort and 
the .small amount of inquiries for 
others to propagate it only. 
The tree is a strong grower and 
highly valued as an ornamental. The 
leaves are large and glossy, in fact 
many people who do not care for the 
grape fruit to eat plant the tree purely 
for its ornamental appearance. 
The fruit is large, skin very smooth, 
beautiful light yellow color when ripe 
and hangs on the tree well. The pulp 
is juicy and contains very little rag. 
On account of the absence of seeds, 
the extreme fine flavor, good ship¬ 
ping qualities and productiveness of 
Marsh’s Seedless, we do not hesitate 
to recommend it to all pomelo or 
grape-fruit planters. Marsh’s Seedless
